SuRkha Maryada


Recommended Posts

@chatanga1 @dalsingh101 @sarabatam @Soulfinder @Trimandeep Singh and others.

Have you heard of this Maryada before? Did Nihangs Singhs do this in the past? Any historical sources which mention this?

A bowl of sacrificial blood (possibly after Jhatka), is passed around during Amrit Sanchar (possibly for sipping) to initiate the Sikh into Kshatri (warrior) tradition of the Khalsa. This is done after the regular Amrit Sanchar, where the bowl of Amrit (Khande da) has been passed around for drinking.

@GurjantGnostic - Have you come across this tradition in any other warrior cultures?

 

Bhul chuk maaf

Pygmies are the current holders of that tradition, but you would find that broadly in the past.

The only thing I've heard of that was remotely similar is European accounts of the late 1700s that claim that some boar blood was added to the amrit when converting muslay to the Khalsa panth. I don't know how true this was, but it could have also been used as a test to weed out infiltrators. I think if some people practiced this (and it was probably a minority, as so little sullay converted by the looks of it), it was probably more down to practical considerations (like the aforementioned infiltration test) rather than any ritualistic thing.  

What about Nihang Singhs drinking the sacrificial blood of goats? Have you come across that in any historical sources?

Please watch the video below. The Nihang Singh (towards the end) drinks the blood of the Chatanga.

The Singhs also prepared a dish of "Hogs legs" for the new Muslim converts.
